Diamondbacks OF prospect Gabriel Guerrero belted two homers Sunday in a win for Double-A Mobile.

Arizona acquired Guerrero from Seattle in the Mark Trumbo trade earlier this month. The 21-year-old has hit for a low average this season (.220 in 236 at-bats) but at least he's starting to find his power stroke. Guerrero is the nephew of former AL MVP Vladimir Guerrero. Jun 22 - 4:35 PM

Guerrero is the nephew of the great Vladimir Guerrero, but Gabby isn't quite to his uncle's caliber. Like his uncle, Guerrero swings and misses a lot -- he's already struck out 48 times in 48 games with Double-A Jackson this season -- but he's also got a lot of power. Just 21 years old, Guerrero likely won't see the majors for at least another few years. Jun 3 - 7:49 PM

Mariners prospect outfielder Gabby Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a home run on Saturday for High-A High Desert, raising his season line to .308/.346/.465.

Guerrero has achieved an OPS in excess of 800 in every month other than June, and has hit .315/.356/.574 with two doubles and four home runs over his last 13 games. He has the potential to hit .300 while hitting 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases, but will likely need a full season in Double-A in 2015 before making his major league debut in mid-2016.

Mariners outfield prospect Gabby Guerrero went 5-for-8 with one double and two home runs in a doubleheader for High-A High Desert on Friday.

Guerrero was hit by a pitch in the game on August 3, after which the game was suspended due to rain. The game was continued on Friday, and Guerrero had a big night. He has an aggressive approach at the plate and, much like his Uncle Vladimir, has incredibly quick wrists that punish fastballs in the zone. This aggressive approach often leads to struggles with breaking pitches, but his hitting coach, Max Venable, said that "the home run he hit was a 3-2 slider," and "most of the hits he got tonight were off of off-speed pitches." Venable was also laudatory regarding Guerrero's adjustments during the season, and noted that he has done very well despite being only 20. Sat, Aug 16, 2014 10:03:00 AM

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for starter Zack Godley, who will make his major league debut on Thursday against the Brewers. Gosselin underwent surgery in mid-May to repair an avulsion fracture in his left thumb and remains sidelined indefinitely. He was acquired from the Braves in last month's Bronson Arroyo trade.

He was forced to leave Friday's game due to tightness in his hamstring, and it sounds as though manager Chip Hale wants to give him an extra day just to be safe. Cliff Pennington is starting in left field and will bat ninth for the D'Backs.

Chase Anderson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona League team on Sunday.

He's slated to throw four innings or 60 pitches in what could be his lone rehab outing. Out the last two weeks with right triceps inflammation, Anderson is expected to replace Zack Godley in the rotation when he returns.

Archie Bradley (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing from a mound in 9-10 days.

He's been throwing on flat ground for a while and is almost ready to take the next step. It will be a long progression to build Bradley back up after he gets back on a mound, so he's still a long ways away from a return. The young righty has been on the shelf since early June with right shoulder inflammation.
